[edit] Nodezilla

Misleading about being open source; innovative - not established; not linked from elsewhere Duncan Cragg 12:10, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

The network layer is the C++ bit that is not open sourced. I have been in contact with the author of Nodezilla, who seems genuine enough, and tells me that this is, indeed, a one-man, non-commercial effort and that he intends to open the network code once it stabilises. He says he didn't put the Wikipedia entry in himself.
However, the reasons for deletion still stand as listed above. Duncan Cragg (edited DuncanCragg 12:37, 29 August 2005 (UTC))

• Delete. Not (yet) notable. --GraemeL ^(talk) 12:41, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Wikipedia is not a software catalog CDC (talk) 18:23, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
• Neutral I rarely (ever?) vote to remove something but I am seriously disturbed about this article since after going to the webpage listed there are inconsistencies that GraemeL has suggested above:

• The download area does not have a link to the code even though the article says it's 'GPL' [1]
• The 'sourceforge' link is to a project called Evl (but says Nodezilla as a title).
• The version of Nodezilla is 0.41 for download, but Evl is 0.6.0-23052005, are they the same or are they not?

I don't think it should be deleted *if* it is accurate as there is room enough on Wikipedia for this project to have an article. --ShaunMacPherson 08:45, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

• Comment I don't think 'room enough' is a reason to keep it, according to Wikipedia guidelines! DuncanCragg 12:37, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep-ish Having said that, I am swayed by the 'keep' comment below and by my inability to find 'non notability' in the Wikipedia guidelines for non-inclusion!! DuncanCragg 08:51, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I created this article because I was interested in Nodezilla, and the Wikipedia is a great place to collect NPOV information. Since I added a short stub other have come and put more into the article. If the article is not accurate (it's proprietary rather than open-source) we can fix that. I think they deserve an article because they claim to offer anonymous file-sharing. Personally I believe their method is flawed, but we can write about that. I also do not see a problem with Wikipedia containing articles about many pieces of software of varying popularity. It has been cited before, and I shall cite it again Wiki is not paper.
